I was sitting on a bar stool,
In a barbecue joint in Tennessee.
When this old boy walked in
an he sat right down next to me.
I could tell he'd been through some hard times.
There were tear stains on his old shirt.
And he said "You wanna know wat you get
When you play a country song backwards?"

You get your house back,
you get your dog back,
you get your best friend Jack back.
You get your truck back
You get your hair back
You get your first & second wifes back.
Your front porch swing
Your pretty little thing
Your bling bling bling
and a diamond ring
You get your farm and the barn and the boat and the harley,
First night in jail with charley.
It sounds a little crazy,a little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards.

Well I never heard it said quite like that.
It hit me in the face cause that's where i'm at.
I almost fell flat out on the floor.
He said"Wait a minute!That's not all there's even more."

You get your mind back and your nerves back.
Your first heart attack back
You get your pride back
you get your life back
Get your first real love back
You get your big screen TV
DVD and a washing machine
You get your pond and the lawn and the bail and the mower
You go back where you don't know 'er
It sounds a little crazy
A little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards

We sat there and shot the bull about how it would be
If we turned it all around and changed this
C-R-A-P

You get your house back
you get your dog back
You get your best friend Jack back
You get your truck back
You get your hair back
Get your first and second wifes back
Your front porch swing
Your pretty little thing
Your bling bling bling
and a diamond ring
You get your farm and the barn and boat and the harley
First night in jail with charley
You get your mind back and your nerves back
Your first heart attack back
You get your pride back
You get your life back
Get your first real love back
You get your big screen TV
DVD and a washing machine
You get your pond and the lawn and the bail and the mower
You go back where you don't know 'er
It sounds a little crazy
A little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards
